We have been thoroughly brainwashed by movies like When Harry Met Sally and Love Actually into believing the holidays are supposed to equal quality cuddle time with someone special.
There were also plenty of celebrity love connections this holiday break to hammer home this point.
Luckily for you, we've compiled a handy recap of all the lovin' that went down for your enjoyment.
Winter Weddings
- Katherine Heigl finally had her dream wedding to Josh Kelley. Love the dress, love the veil, love the hair!
- Eddie Murphy escaped to a private island near Bora Bora to wed Tracey Edmonds.
- Jimmy Fallon also sought out warmer weather and married his special producing lady, Nancy Juvonen, in the Caribbean.
Enchanting Engagements
- Josh Duhamel made Fergie-Fergs "feel like the luckiest girl in the world" by proposing.
- With a baby on the way, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren announced their engagement. Now, if only we could get them to look happy together in a picture.
- Without a Trace star Roselyn Sanchez and actor Eric Winter got engaged on a Caribbean vacay. Hmmm, the island getaway thing is kind of overplayed.
And now it's time for the breakups.
We understand if you need to skip this section to go on believing in the all-conquering power of love...
Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
- The end of Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese's strange union became official over the break. Think Manson will make Evan Rachel Wood his new corpse bride?
- Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn announced plans to divorce after 11 years of marriage. We honestly can't believe she was able to stand him for that long.
- Bud Bundy, properly known as David Faustino, is officially back on the market after being married for three and a half years. Please, try to control your excitement.
- Brendan Fraser also called it quits with Afton, his wife of nine years, over the holiday.
Sorry about the serious downer at the end, but we wish all the newlyweds and the recently engaged the best of luck! Channel the Tom Hanks-Rita Wilson union, not the Penns'.
